Fried chicken in NoVA - Arlington preferred

I was looking to have some good fried chicken tomorrow for lunch. Flavors doesn't open until two, but I can't go then. Is there an alternative anywhere that's at least as good? I'm not looking for any pollo a la brasa places ala Pollo Campero, etc; just some good, down home fried chicken.

I don't know the answer to your question, but Pollo Campero isn't rotisserie - it is fried. I'm not a fan - they come in behind Popeye's for me, but it is the best chain fried chicken when cold. Buy it - put it in the fridge, then eat.

Oh actually I did remember one other place - Bob and Edith's. It used to be better, and despite some ranklings on this board towards them, the place still has a fond spot in my gullet. I would recommend getting other things there, but if you're in a spot, it is worth a visit.
